CBS Sports' Danny Knobler reports that the Reds have looked into acquiring Wandy Rodriguez. New Astros owner Jim Crane reportedly wants to slash the team's payroll down to $60 million, and with possibly $36 million owed to him over the next three seasons, Rodriguez could be on the trading block. It would take a pretty decent return to get him, though, as he'd be one of the better starters available on the market. The Reds are also considering the Rockies' Ubaldo Jimenez.
